“She was wonderful. Our cats are unfortunately bad and broke glass and she very kindly cleaned it up and took out the trash for us. She has been super responsive throughout and we couldn’t ask for much more. One hundred percent recommend.”


“I can’t say enough great things about Gizelle! She came through for me on very short notice and even traveled from further out just to make sure Mazzi was taken care of for the weekend. That level of dedication alone meant the world to me. Not only was she incredibly dependable, but Gizelle also went above and beyond when Mazzi got into some muddy mischief. She cleaned everything up without complaint and made sure Mazzi was comfortable and happy the entire time. I especially appreciated her attention to detail, even when we were not able to respond due to being on vacation. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and treats your pet like their own, book Gizelle. I will absolutely be using her again!”

About: I’ve taken care dogs of all ages from 8 weeks to 18 years. I am experienced in working with dogs who have disabilities or medical complications and I am completely comfortable administering things like medicine or eye drops. Whether your dog likes playing fetch, going on walks, or simply snuggling in the couch, I’ll be there to give them companionship in whatever manner suits them. My favorite part of pet care is providing photo updates to owners as they are away from their furry friends! Thank you in advance for trusting me with the care of your best friend. I currently have full availability to dedicate time to your baby! I can come as early as 6am and as late at 10:00pm to visit your pet and give them quality attention and care. I am very communicative and promise to follow your individualized directions for your pet’s care. Wether you would like you pet crated, or out and about around your home, I will make sure they are always in a safe and comfortable environment.

About: I’ve loved animals since I was a kid. I would love to able to walk and watch your pets for you. I currently work in the animal field and would love a way to enjoy my passion and make money for my savings. I currently work a part time job and would need to text or have a call about what days I’m available. I would prefer a day of walks, check-ins, and would be open to overnight. I would love to sit at the owners home. I would take them for daily walks in your neighborhood or nearby parks. I’m also good at nap time and daily feedings for your pets.

“Kay was so good with deuce. She was also very responsive and took lots of pictures of my deuce when she took him out. The service was well worth it and we will be booking with her again.”


About: I'm a freelance writer and blogger and have the flexibility of working from home. I have two chihuahuas of my own. They are both older dogs and pretty chill. I have a masters in mass communication where I studied animal behavior and the media's influence on society's views of animals. I adore all living things. If I could have any job in the world and money wasn’t an issue, I’d open my own animal shelter and animal protection organization. Having the resources to shelter as many animals as possible would bring me the utmost joy and sense of fulfillment. I'm more than happy to brush your dog/cat and offer delicious homemade treats. Please supply a list of any medical conditions or allergies your animal may have. **IMPORTANT** If your dog is not comfortable with people, please do not request my services. I don't want to take any chances risking your dog's safety or my own. Thank you.

About: I have a big fenced in yard, lots of room inside, and plenty of free time for playing with your doggo! I have a 6-year-old female maltese-yorkie named Ellie that I have loved for 6 full years.

I will be sure to give your pup tons of attention while providing a clean and safe environment for them to relax in while you are away. I am also happy to accommodate special needs/requests for your dog. I have a flexible schedule and will work with you and your dog's needs! I am also willing to care for more than one dog at a time IF they are from the same household; however, I will never introduce a NEW pet (other than my own) to yours while you are away. Your dog’s safety is my #1 priority during his or her stay. PLEASE BE ADVISED: I have a responsibility to protect the safety of my roommates and my own dog while they are in my home. Therefore, all inquiries/booking requests may be asked for proof of pet ownership (or other way to verify authenticity) as a means of screening for scams, predators, or other just generally bad humans. Furthermore, I reserve the right to deny service if I am unable to verify such or just get an icky feeling about a request. (Don’t yall wish people could all be as loving and innoncent as our doggo friends so I didn’t have to worry about such ridiculousness ?).
